Querying Assets (ArkTS)

Available APIs

You can use query(query: AssetMap) (asynchronous API) or querySync(query: AssetMap) (synchronous API) to query assets.

The following table describes the attributes of AssetMap for querying an asset.

In the following table, the attributes ALIAS and those starting with DATA_LABEL are custom asset attributes reserved for services. These attributes are not encrypted. Therefore, do not put sensitive personal data in these attributes.

It takes a long time to query the plaintext of the asset attribute SECRET due to the need of decryption. Therefore, RETURN_TYPE must be set to ALL. For other asset attributes, decryption is not required, so the query takes a short time. Therefore, RETURN_TYPE must be set to ATTRIBUTES.

Attribute Name (Tag) Value Mandatory Description
ALIAS

Type: Uint8Array

Length: 1-256 bytes

No Asset alias, which uniquely identifies an asset.
ACCESSIBILITY

Type: number

Value range: see Accessibility

No Access control based on the lock screen status.
REQUIRE_PASSWORD_SET Type: Boolean No Whether the asset is accessible only when a lock screen password is set. The value true means to query the asset accessible only when a lock screen password is set. The value false means to query the asset that can be accessed regardless of whether a lock screen password is set.
AUTH_TYPE

Type: number

Value range: see AuthType

No Type of user authentication required for accessing the asset.
SYNC_TYPE

Type: number

Value range: see SyncType

No Type of sync supported by the asset.
IS_PERSISTENT Type: Boolean No Whether to retain the asset when the application is uninstalled. The value true means to retain the asset even after the application is uninstalled. The value false means the opposite.
DATA_LABEL_CRITICAL_1 Type: Uint8Array, length: 1-2048 bytes. Optional

DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_LOCAL_112+

Type: Uint8Array

Length: 1-2048 bytes

No Local information attached to the asset. The value is assigned by the service without integrity protection and will not be synced.
DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_LOCAL_212+

Type: Uint8Array

Type: number

Value range: see ReturnType

No Type of the asset query result to return.
RETURN_LIMIT Type: number No Maximum number of asset records returned.
RETURN_OFFSET

Type: number

Value range: 1-65536

No

Offset of the asset query result.

Note: This parameter specifies the starting asset record to return in batch asset query.

RETURN_ORDERED_BY

Type: number

Value: asset.Tag.DATA_LABEL_xxx.

No

How the query results are sorted. Currently, the results can be sorted only by DATA_LABEL.

Note: By default, assets are returned in the order in which they are added.

REQUIRE_ATTR_ENCRYPTED14+ Type: Boolean No Whether to query the encrypted data of service customized supplementary information. The value true means to query the encrypted data of service customized supplementary information; the value false means to query the non-encrypted data of service customized supplementary information. The default value is false.
GROUP_ID18+

Type: Uint8Array

Length: 7-127 bytes

No Group to which the asset to be queried belongs. By default, only assets that do not belong to any group are queried.

Constraints

Assets queried in batches need to be transmitted to services through the IPC channel. Due to the limitation of the IPC buffer size, you are advised to query a maximum of 40 assets at a time.

Example

This module provides asynchronous and synchronous APIs. The following uses the asynchronous APIs as an example. For more information about the APIs, see @ohos.security.asset (Asset Store Service).

For details about how to query the plaintext of an asset in a group, see Querying the Plaintext of an Asset in a Group. For details about how to query the attributes of an asset in a group, see Querying the Attributes of an Asset in a Group.

Before querying an asset, ensure that the asset exists. For details about how to add an asset, see Adding an Asset. Otherwise, the NOT_FOUND error (24000002) is reported.

[h2]Querying the Plaintext of an Asset

Query the plaintext of asset demo_alias.

  1. Include the header file and define the tool function.

    import { asset } from '@kit.AssetStoreKit';
    import { util } from '@kit.ArkTS';
    import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';
    
    function stringToArray(str: string): Uint8Array {
      let textEncoder = new util.TextEncoder();
      return textEncoder.encodeInto(str);
    }
    
    function arrayToString(arr: Uint8Array): string {
      let textDecoder = util.TextDecoder.create('utf-8', { ignoreBOM: true });
      let str = textDecoder.decodeToString(arr, { stream: false });
      return str;
    }
  2. Develop the desired feature.

    let query: asset.AssetMap = new Map();
    query.set(asset.Tag.ALIAS, stringToArray('demo_alias')); // Specify the alias of the asset to query. At most one asset will meet the condition.
    query.set(asset.Tag.RETURN_TYPE, asset.ReturnType.ALL); // Return all asset information, including the attributes and asset plaintext. The plaintext needs to be decrypted, so the query takes a long time.
    try {
      asset.query(query).then((res: Array<asset.AssetMap>) => {
        for (let i = 0; i < res.length; i++) {
          // Parse the secret.
          let secret: Uint8Array = res[i].get(asset.Tag.SECRET) as Uint8Array;
          // Convert Uint8Array into the string type.
          let secretStr: string = arrayToString(secret);
        }
        // ...
      }).catch((err: BusinessError) => {
        console.error(`Failed to query Asset plaintext. Code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
        // ...
      });
    } catch (error) {

[h2]Querying Attributes of Assets

Query attributes of assets whose label is demo_label in batches. A total of 10 records that meet the conditions are returned. The results are sorted by the content of the DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_1 attribute.

      return textEncoder.encodeInto(str);
    }
  2. Develop the desired feature.

    let query: asset.AssetMap = new Map();
    query.set(asset.Tag.RETURN_TYPE, asset.ReturnType.ATTRIBUTES); // Return only the attributes of the asset, that is, the result does not include the asset plaintext.
    query.set(asset.Tag.DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_1, stringToArray('demo_label'));
    query.set(asset.Tag.RETURN_LIMIT, 10); // Return information about 10 assets that match the search criteria.
    query.set(asset.Tag.RETURN_ORDERED_BY, asset.Tag.DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_1); // Sort the query results by DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_1.
